sixth year students become
young entrepreneurs
Stewarton Academy S6 students prepare to participate
in Young Enterprise - Ayrshire. The participating
students will work as a team to set up and run their
own real company for up to one academic year.
They will elect a board of directors, carry out market research, develop a
product or service, manage their finances, promote their company, market
and sell their products or services to the public.
The students are supported and guided by a volunteer Business Adviser
and their link teacher.
The team have the option to enter the Young Enterprise Company of
the Year competition for Ayrshire in the Spring term of 2015 and if
successful progress to the Scottish final and hopefully on to the National
and European Final in the Summer Term.
All Young Enterprise programmes are based upon the principle of
“Learning by Doing”. Instead of having to absorb large amounts of
theory before they start, the team will learn about business in a hands-on
way.
The benefits to the students of taking part in the programme are:
Enjoying real successes and overcoming real setbacks will make for a
truly valuable life experience. The team can be sure that, whatever they
decide to do in the future, being an active participant in the Company
Programme
will give them
an insight into
the world of
business and
work, and help
them when considering their career choices.
They will learn about the essence of enterprise – understanding
customers, selling and marketing products, making difficult decisions,
working as a team, taking and sharing responsibility, etc.
Most importantly, they will develop and be able to demonstrate key
employability skills, such as problem solving, communication, resilience
and organisation.
